An early start, the minibus arrived at our hotel on time. After pickups at 2 more hotels we arrived at the main departure point and transferred to a coach. There were only 9 of us on the tour so plenty of space. The floating market was excellent although it was very busy. We then had a reasonably long journey to Kanchanaburi for the JEATH war museum, a very good lunch, the immaculate war cemetery and bridge of the river Kwai. The trip was well worth the long journey home and long day. 2 trips in 1. Highly recommended if your time in Thailand is limited.

We had a great day on our tour. The whole day was well paced. My only advice to future travellers is do not buy at the floating markets. It's horribly overpriced. Everything I bought there was a fraction of the price at other markets I visited. Overall though, a day well spent.

Tour was excellent and our guide was informative. The floating markets were very interesting and we had time on our own to shop. Bridge on the River Kwai is a long bus ride from Bangkok and was a little disappointing. Important to know the history before going as the current bridge is just a modern train bridge.

This tour promised a lot and failed to deliver. 2 extra stops to “orchid farm” and “elephant farm” were terrible and unwanted. Gift shops and abused animals. Disgusting. Market was just more gift stalls. All the same. Not a real market at all. Guide really pushy about extras such as boat rides.

The floating markets were awesome. Our tour guide Nikko was beyond great. Very knowledgeable, informative and kind. He took his time to explain the history of the land and to show us certain key things._br/_ I wish we had more time at the floating markets and that it wsnt so crowded, but besides that, it was great. I would definitely recommend it along with Nikko as the tour guide!

Wonderful tour. So interesting to see the floating market. The long boat boat ride was really fun through the canals to the market. Great guide. Really enjoyed the time at River Kwai I like history Plenty of time to enjoy.

Not the floating market I remember from my visit in 1973 - much more on shore than floating, but still worth the trip.

The place was too crowded with boats at Floating market. The boats couldnt move, hence waste of time._br/_ River Kwai was Ok but a long way too see the place.

This was a wonderful day, with lots of shopping, history and getting to see some of Thailand outside of Bangkok. Definitely pay the extra 150 baht for the smaller canoe tour- that's about 4USD and absolutely worth it!

FAB DAY OUT
Review by: Michael D, December 2017
Was not much of a tour - mostly driving. Also, despite no mention of it, there were two up charges for basic activities. This was driving to the market for a half hour ride on a boat (tourist trap) then driving to take a look at a cemetery, a mediocre museum and a bridge. Little commentary.

This would be a 5 star except for the travel time. Not the tour operator problem, just a reality of distance from Bangkok. I would, however, suggest taking this tour rather than doing both destinations separately. There is more than adequate time on this tour at each destination and we didnt feel rushed._br/_ The Floating Market is extremely crowded but it is an experience and we recommend taking the optional smaller boat tour at nominal cost. It is the only way to get a really good feel for the place._br/_ We visited the museum, the cemetery and the bridge itself on the River Kwai plus having a good lunch on a floating restaurant. _br/_ Overall, the trip met all my expectations and I would recommend if one has a full day to spare.

Great tour, we learnt about the history of Bangkok and the war. Had a lovely lunch at a floating restaurant and were cared for by our guide Suki and driver. Floating market was chaotic but fun take your face masks and the bridge was great. The trip was timed nicely with a train on the bridge.

The problem i had with this and all tours on Viator is when you book to see something, there is always other things they take you to see that you were not part of tge toir!In a 10 hour tour we had only 1 hour at the floating market. That is one of the things i paid to see and one hour was not enough

Great experience and worth doing the trip. The guide a little hard to understand and had to pay extra for our boat as there was only 3 instead of six
